Question

I want to access private methods and variables from outside the classes in very rare specific cases.

I\'ve seen that this is not be possible although introspection

Answer 1

If you are able to added a method in the class where the method is defined, you can add method which uses the call_user_method() internally. This works also with PHP 5.2.x

callprivate('somePrivateMethod');
